Hi there,
After a few years of driving other people's Landies (I'm allowed to swear !) I decided that it was time to buy my own, and settled for an 80's Cruiser.
Spent many months waiting for my criteria, petrol with lpg, low mileage with some off road kit.
Apologies, but I hate diesel as a fuel, and the way the price is going I think the pence/mile petrol is a good choice?
The avatar is what I bought.
1996 80 series with various mods, but criteria met.
It needs tidying up and the once over by a knowledgeable mechanic (booked in tomorrow).
The lpg system needs attention, i.e. When running lpg and de-accelerating it cuts out!
Leather interior needs restoration as well as the carpet.
Near side front hub is weeping oil, minor but it needs resealing.
So I will be using for off road trips (want to able to sleep in the back, so need be able remove and fit "beds" easily/quickly and back to seats), or take to the beach with the kids/grandchildren!
And of course, cruise....
So that's me.
